Illumina Genome AnalyzerIIe sequencing system
04 February, 2010 byThe Illumina Genome AnalyzerIIe sequencing system has been designed to provide a lower-priced entry point into next-generation sequencing. The system leverages the architecture of Illumina’s Genome AnalyzerIIx and its sequencing-by-synthesis chemistry to generate approximately 200 million paired-end reads and 20 gigabases of data per run at launch. As Illumina introduces advances to increase the output of the Genome AnalyzerIIx to 95 Gb, the output of the Genome AnalyzerIIe is expected to reach 40 Gb and 300 million paired-end reads per run.
